Design a simply supported one-way reinforced concrete floor slab to span 10 ft and carry a service live load of 175 psf and a service dead load of 25 psf. Use fc' = 3000 psi and fy = 60,000 psi. Make the slab thickness to 12-in. increments. a. Design the slab for the ACI Code minimum thickness. b. Design the thinnest possible slab allowed by the ACI Code.

Design criteria for structural loading

The different loads such as loads due to self-weight (dead load) and external loads such as live load, wind loads, seismic load, snow load, and other loads and load combinations that influence the design of a building are called structural loading. The nature of the applied load differs from changes in the location, design, and type of materials used. The design criteria require that structures must be designed and constructed to be able to withstand all load types that are expected to act upon the structure and render its usage for the designated purpose. The structural members such as beams, slabs, columns, and foundations help the structure to withstand the applied load. There are different institutes such as ASCE and ACI that provide building design codes to assure minimum safety requirements and quality of the structures.
